Folkestone Hypnotherapy Free yourself from anxiety, stress and bad habits. Sessions face-to-face or online. Get better fast.

My name is Christophe Courtin and I am a certified hypnotherapist with a focus on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, and depression. I know from personal experience how debilitating these conditions can be, having struggled with anxiety disorders myself.

My goal is to assist as many people as possible in overcoming their struggles, whether it’s anxiety, phobias, or depression. I believe that change can happen rapidly, so you don’t have to spend months in weekly therapy. I work with clients to develop personalized solutions that are appropriate for them.

I also have experience helping people quit smoking and regain their health, life, and money. As an ex-smoker myself, I understand the challenges and excuses people use to justify their habit. I know that quitting smoking can be difficult, but with the right tools, it can be easy.

In addition to working with clients, I am also an acknowledged supervisor, supporting other hypnotherapists in their work and professional development. As a second-dan black belt and instructor in Aikido, I also use hypnosis and visualization to improve focus and performance in sports and martial arts.

Anxiety thrives on two little words: “what if”.

What if I fail? What if I can’t do it? What if I make a fool of myself? Every “what if” invites your imagination to build a worst-case scenario, then react as if it’s already happening.

Here’s a simple switch to try today: swap “what if” for “even if”. It admits the possibility, then says life carries on. That tends to nudge your brain out of panic and into problem-solving.

If you’d like more tools like this, they’re in my book, Dealing with Anxiety in a Nutshell. Link in the comments.

And if anxiety keeps running the show, you don’t have to handle it alone. Get in touch, it’s confidential and there’s no pressure.

What’s your most common “what if”? 👇

Have you been through a toxic or abusive relationship and still feel the effects? The constant alertness, the replaying, the sense that you’re never quite safe, can linger long after it’s over.

In this video, I explain how hypnotherapy works with the emotional side directly, so you can let go of what you’ve been carrying without having to relive it.

Everyone recovers at their own pace, and results vary. I won’t promise miracles, just solid help.

If you’d like to talk it through, get in touch. It’s confidential, and there’s no pressure.

Feeling overwhelmed? Try this quick nervous system reset.

Here is a simple way to bring down feelings of stress and anxiety fast using bilateral stimulation and an everyday object.

All you need is something with a little weight to it, like a stress ball, a juggling ball, or an orange. By shifting the ball side-to-side like a Newton's cradle, you engage both sides of your brain and activate a natural calming response.

Take it slow, breathe out, and give it just one minute.

Save this video for the next time you feel overwhelmed, and drop a comment below to let me know how it works for you! đŸ§˜â€â™‚ïžâœš

Graeme Wood (Rapid Change Hypnosis) interviewed me to talk about my upcoming presentation at the UK Hypnosis Convention titled "Aikido for Anxiety: From Resistance to Flow."
It's about physical demonstrations/metaphors to help clients understand the principle of non-resistance and the power of relaxation.
I also expand on how some aikido principles in general can help you fight anxiety more easily.

Does your anxiety start the moment you open your eyes, or does it wake you at 2am?

If everyday life feels like wading through mud because your mind just won't be quiet, I want you to know you're not failing and you're not broken.

I've just released the revised edition of my book, Dealing With Anxiety In A Nutshell. I've listened to reader feedback, tidied up the formatting and added even more techniques from my clinic.

It's a mental health first aid kit for busy professionals, exhausted parents, students facing panic attacks and neurodivergent minds dealing with overload and burnout. As a therapist with ADHD myself, I know that overactive mental loop very well.

You don't have to use every technique. Pick two or three that suit your life and notice the difference.

📖 Available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dealing-Anxiety-Nutshell-Mental-First-Aid/dp/B0GZLPCCLX/

Please share this with someone who might need it today. 💛

Tried to quit before and it didn’t stick?
That’s not failure. That’s progress.

Most people who quit smoking for good don’t manage it on their first try. It took me several attempts before I finally kicked my own 20-year habit over a decade ago.

Every attempt teaches you something:
‱ What your real triggers are
‱ Which times of day are hardest
‱ What you actually need instead of a cigarette

None of that went to waste.

This Stoptober, you’re not starting from zero: you’re starting closer than you think.

If patches, gum, or cold turkey haven’t worked, it’s not because you lack willpower. It’s because ni****ne is only part of the puzzle; the real driver is the subconscious habit loop. That’s exactly what we rewire with hypnotherapy.

Let’s make this the attempt that sticks.
